What do you need for Shank lv 10? I only have snipers!!!
dont use snipers on lvl 10 you will lose them all
you must use melee units, 50k grunts is supposed to work.
i sent 45k snipers and 5 k at and lost them all
dropped him to 2 percent then sent 5k nem to finish
if i had know i would have trained gruntd or nem bats instead
if you want just send 30k 30000+ grunts like i did i beat him every time it easy and cheap on steel and crystal and fast to replace them my loss was 15k to 18k
seriously though, how do you take him entirely?
Send your entire army, I used 500 grunts, 5000 flikerforms and 1000 snipers to finish off level 10
I beat it with 20k Snipes, 1k AT and 600 Nos, with level 8 Twilight Warfare, level 6 Spectral Vision and level 6 Blood Transfusions. I lost the 600 Nos though.
u can cut the number of troops onthis page by about half for shanks bases… i just took out lvl 7 shank with 7300 snipers and 437 nemesis bats.. no trucks.. no losses
I just took out shank 7 with 7146 snipers, sv,bt,tw,lvl 5 and vengeance and fortitude. 0 losses
ummm this guide is way overkill
i did lvl 3 with 150 snipers, 300 trucks (to get all res), and all of those researches EXCEPT for BT
i used 30k snips, 5k at nd 20k grunts nd all i lose is the 20k grunts
What should i use for lv 9?
150 meat heads and 300 bikers, 11990 defense, you need to over come this number in attack
New update, 260 meat heads, and still 300 bikers, more than usual, but try to train 200 nos, it should over throw the meat needs and the bikers will be smashed
Is the shank base guide above also good for the shank bases I need to attack to get my second outpost?
Pythus bases levels 1 through 7 can be beaten with no losses using 69,000 snipers,3,000 armored trucks, and a level 16 or higher General.
what research and troops do i need for lvl 8 shank?
u need spectral vision lvl 7
blood transfusion lvl 6
and lvl 7 twilight warfare
suckers, ive already got outpost 1 and 2
Troops: 1100 grunts 695 trucks,661 slashers, 370 sigs, 82 filkers, 516 ATs, 669 Nem bats, and 156 now
Is 1000 snipers, 3000 grunts, 500 slashers, 1000 sigbins, and 100 armoured trucks enough to destroy level 5 shanks base?
NO, OF COURSE NOT, for no losses, try 5000 snipers, 30k grunts, 2000 sigbins, 1000 nem bats and 200 vamp bats, with 2 armored trucks, you won’t get a lot of supplies for defeating shank
or try 2k snipers and 500 ATs.
Level 7 Shank is wrong, its supposed to be 500 hicks and 600 freaks
no it’s not wrong, it’s just they updated the game engine 2 weeks ago causing the shanks campaing to be easy now, you can defeat shanks to lvl 9 with 18k snipes and 8k grunts and no losses, you can also defeat lvl 10 with the same numbers but your grunts will die. rebuild the grunts for repeated attempts. if you go in without them you snipers are dead. (you could use other melee troops but they’re cheapest)
@ splifftor… Do you have any proof of that as I’ve not seen that anywhere but in your comment?
I used 376 snipers and +14% attack general, and I didn’t lose a single one.
What is lord pythus??
i used 30000 sniper and 1400at plus 200nos plus two boost revange and fortified and a25% genaral defences i still loss i put him in 1% i try twice still loss
hey i need to know what i need to train so i can get my 2nd outpost
I used 56k grunts with a lv 15 def general and beat him. I lost 7k troops. On my 2nd attack I sent 49k grunts, beat him and lost 7.2k troops. DO NOT SEND SNIPERS OR AT’s!! ONLY USE GRUNTS! Lowest amount I’ve heard will win is 45K grunts, with a troop lose of approx 9k. Good Luck!
i sent over 10,000 snipers and beat all but lvl 10 shank…ended up with 1% remaining. still have not beaten him
I beat up regular level 10 with 10ish snipers 400 ats around 1k of Nosferatu and 1k of Nem Bats and sorts of regular bats lost Nosferatu and the bats but no loss on snipers or ats
i used three thousand snipers for 5, 6, and 7 with + 9 attack and i didnt lose a single troop
use 35,000 grunts + 1000 sigbins
you will loose 1000 sigbins (always)
no other combo works
(dont send AT’s at all ever)
doesnt matter if u use attack or defence general
whats the easiest way to beat lvl 9 shanks base?
Lv. 8 does NOT have 8k bikers! It only has 500 of some troop and you dont need to send 30k snipers to lv. 8. You only need to send 13k snipers and 500 at’s. Thats how i did it and it’s full proof. You won’t lose a thing. I did it last night. Unfortunatly the servers been having problems and all my troops disapeared this morning.:( But i look at it as a minor setback. My point is that you only need to send 13k snipers and 500 at’s.
is there a easy explanation for ll 9.10+above ,many thanks…mark

guide above is totally wrong. most of their guides are. ive used the one i posted for over a month and never lost a single unit
when playing thirst of night, I can only do two of thre items, either build a building, do research or train troops. I used to be able to do all three. it says there was a problem
the specified queue is full.
what do I have to do to get all 3 running again
